With Palm Beach Mayor Gail Coniglio announcing Dec. 30 she will not be seeking a sixth term after serving as mayor since 2011, it’s time to look back at some of the people who occupied that office before her.
Coniglio is the 16th mayor of the town, which was incorporated in 1911. While the mayor only has the right to vote to break a tie vote on any ordinance, resolution or ordinance, the mayor also has veto powers. The mayor is recognized as the head of the town government for ceremonial and other purposes and acts as an ombudsman to investigate and report the residents’ concerns to the council.

i know how he was killed and what they did with him. how did she know? according to her, michael drank a lot. every night he would almost down a whole bottle of scotch and i guess he just needed to talk. and the story wolf told according to the ex implicated more than just himself. here s what happened as nancy heard it. wolf and harry britton rented a motel room on that long ago july night. invited david to a meeting there. when he gets at the hotel. they have a very small conversation and michael shot david in the head. he said he had to get so drunk to do it. the first shot didn t kill him. he had to shoot him again. afterwards as nancy relayed the story. they took his car to the airport and left it there and then he took him there was an
